I thought RAM prices were supposed to be going down! I decided to hold off getting some more RAM to go from 16GB to 32GB but price for the 8-pack kit I'm after has gone up from 194.99 (2% discount at the time) to 209.99 Plan is just to get a 2x16GB. Too expensive now so forced to wait I guess!
Well thats a shame, as that would be rather interesting (nice timings with a little RGB too). For me it would be between that, or the 8pack memory depending on price (RGB isnt required but would be nice).

I picked up 32GB (2x16gb) Viper Steel 3600MHz at a good price, practically not far off what I paid for my 16gb 8pack ram. Managed to get it to work at C16 and tightened the other timings. Very happy with the result 
Not as good as my 16gb 8pack b-die which ran without breaking a sweat at 3733MHz and tighter timings, but for the price one can’t complain. I certainly would not be able to justify paying double the price for 32gb of 8pack RAM. I mean the difference is about 4-5ns in latency vs my 16gb 8pack.
Did a 4 pass memtest overnight which took around 6 hours to complete and it had no errors. Will do some more testing, but it is looking solid so far. I am impressed

I take it 2 x 16GB is better than 4 x 8GB?

Yea, I read that depending on what type of topology your mobo has it prefers 2 or 4. I believe the one I have prefers 2. But not just that, I would have to take my cpu cooler of to get to one of the ram slots and I can’t be asked with that right now. Especially since my 4.4Ghz 24/7 OC has been running flawlessly.

Isnt it the fact that Ryzen is dual channel so performs better with two sticks rather than four?

I am not sure to be honest
I tend to do a lot of research when upgrading, then slowly forget what’s what over time. Lol.
I didn't know where to put this but I know people in here will know what to do. @opethdisciple @MrPils @Robert896r1
If any of you have a board with access to AGESA 1.0.8.1 (should be a beta BIOS for most boards by now in prep for Zen 3), you might want to update to it. Apparently it brings down the inter core latency even for Zen 2 by about 2ns: https://www.computerbase.de/2020-09/amd-agesa-combo-am4-v2-1-0-8-1-test-latenz-bandbreite/
Sandra -
Latency core-core: 48.9ns = 1.0.8.1
Latency core-core: 56.9ns = 1.0.0.6
Aida64 -
77.3 latency on 1.0.06 to 75.3 on 1.0.8.1
Anyone fancy doing before and after screenshots?

Interesting. Will wait to be sure everything is stable with my new ram and then update bios.

The Ripped kit is really good. Well worth it.

Thanks. A good development.

What voltage does this 8 pack run at? Looks like it's between 1.4-1.5v ?
I was playing around with my Corsair bdie to see if I could quickly get c15 stable at 3600. I can bench with it but it errors after relatively short memtest. This is at 1.4v, I've not explored above this due to my motherboard turning the number red beyond that, so I'm interested how it works for this ram.

1.45v is the xmp rating.
If it's b-die then try CL14 GDM on @1.45v
The only info on overclocks I found were here: https://www.overclockers.com/forums...on-2x16GB-DDR4-3600-CL16-TDPPD416G3600HC16GBK
3200 CL13-13-13 1.40V+
3200 CL14-14-14 1.35V
3600 CL14-14-14 1.45V
3800 CL16-16-16 1.40V
4000 CL16-16-16 1.45V
